Hi folks... quick drive-by post (okay, I'm not driving right now, but...)

Anyway, I just spotted this article on Huffington Post....
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rep-mike-hon...0_b_615845.html

One of the (many) great quotes included is....
"....and in this nation alone, an estimated 5.3 million people are infected with either Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C. Tragically, an average of two-thirds of those infected are unaware of their status."

$600mill over a 5-yr period is a drop in the bucket, so to speak (uh... to use a baad Oil Spill analogy??), but ya gotta start somewhere!

Anyway -- Love to all and BEAT THE DRAGON!! ~sus

Thanks for the infor , Sus. Wonderful to hear that some elected officials are aware of the problem.

Yes, there was a hearing yesterday. Michael Ninburg from Hepatitis Project spoke. The Oversight Committee asked the Representatives to please pass the Viral Hepatitis Bill HR3974. NVHR has been instrumental in working on all of this on behalf of all of us patients.
